We should still be talking about this. That story fascinated me. If the media went into more detail on infrastructure beyond stories about how it's crumbling or who in congress does or doesn't want to pay for it, that could really make a difference.
I would watch a nightly news show called "Infrastructure Tonight" if it existed.
- lowdose 7y agoIt would be awesome if the fourth estate executed their role in society proper. But outlets like the WSJ have to push out an article per minute to remain relevant in the search ranking. Maybe news is more important than just supplying entertainment and should the world take notice of UK's model with the BBC.

- merpnderp 7y agoThe great thing about markets is people get to vote on what’s important to them. The bad thing about government programs is they can force everyone else to pay for what’s important to a few loud voices. There are lots of high quality subscriber news agencies struggling because their services aren’t that important to most people. Using the state to force people to subsidize that won’t make them care more.
